Gabriela Visconti

Gabriela Visconti was a member of the House of Visconti of Milan. In 1493, she had an affair with her cousin, twice-removed Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, which was discovered by Pope Alexander VI when he suddenly entered Sforza's room. Visconti left the room as Pope Alexander stated his intention to talk with Sforza about his other cousins (namely Duke Ludovico Sforza, who had been visited by his rival, Cardinal Della Rovere).
